EL C. Q.
NOTE
Years ago, Henry Quinby used to spend Ms spare time
on dull summer days browsing around in musty non-venti-
lated second-hand book shops. There began his interest in
Richard Harding Davis, not only for what he wrote, but be-
cause of the great quantity and variety of his writings.
Mr. Quinby started making notes of his Davis acquisi-
tions, and the list grew until finally it developed into this
Bibliography,
Before Mr. Quinby 7 s death on October 23, 1922, the entire
manuscript was written and ready for publication, includ-
ing the necessary instruction for the printers. It is now by
Mrs. Quinby y s desire, published in its original form, without
re-editing or substantial changes.
INTRODUCTION
By CHARLES BELMONT DAVIS
WHEN Mr. Quinby first spoke to me of his project to
compile a record of my brother Richard's literary work,
I looked for a book of reference a careful record with all
the limitations and all the dusty dullness that the word
implies. But, to me at least, this volume seems ve;ry much
more than the record of musty smell and crackling leaves,
something much more than a success of mere research. I
cannot see why this book should not be read before one's
own cosy hearth as well as under the green lamp shade of a
public library. The author was fortunate in that his sub-
ject was a man of red blood and imagination, and there can
be no more doubt that some of that red blood has been
transfused into these pages than that the author has pre-
sented the results of Ms research with a real and sym-
pathetic imagination. In many of these pages will be found
the human interest and the charm of a biography, and my
great regret is that my brother might not have lived to read
them. I know of no one who would have absorbed the book
with so keen a pleasure or who could so well have written
an appreciation of this labor of love.
The author has been courteous enough to ask me to say
something of my brother, and as the volume is devoted to
Richard's work as an author, I presume I should speak only
of that side of Ms life. Under such generous conditions I
might take advantage of the opportunity to express my
critical views of Ms literary efforts and speculate on their
permanent place in the literature of our country, but I
gladly refrain, willingly toss away the golden opportunity,
xiv INTRODUCTION
and leave critical analysis and speculation to those re-
viewers and prophets who are far "better qualified for the
task and far less prejudiced. There is, however, another
side to Richard's work of which I may speak "briefly a
certain physical aspect with which I was well acquainted
and which I feel must impress anyone who has taken but a
cursory glance at the pages that follow. I refer to the
extraordinary amount of work my brother accomplished in
the fifty-two years of his life and to its very unusual
variety.
At twenty-three Richard was a reporter and had written
several stories for "boys, and at twenty-six he was still a
reporter and had written several successful stories for
grown-ups. At this time he was offered the position
of managing editor of HABPEB'S WEEKLY, and as he had
several ideas of his own as to how a periodical should
be edited, he accepted the offer and for a few months
of every year sat in a swivel chair and told other
reporters how to write news stories. The rest of his time
he devoted to long journeys, of which he wrote so-called
travel articles. He was advertised as a " correspondent, "
but he was still a reporter, and all of this time he was
writing the fiction that gave him his early reputation.
Journalism is frequently and often freely recommended to
incipient writers as the best school in which to prepare for
the authorship of fiction in a word, literature. But
Richard, so far as I know, never admitted the difference
between the art of journalism and literature, and, through-
out his life, in his vocabulary the word " author " stood no
higher than " reporter. " When he began writing novels
he still wrote short stories and articles of travel, and when
he wrote his first plays he did not let this work interfere for
any great length of time with his novels or short stories
or Ms war correspondence. Gouverneur Morris has said
that Richard was a full brother to Peter Pan and never
grew old in any case I am sure that he never graduated
from one school of writing to another, because he held them
all worthy and all part of literature. As a cub newspaper
reporter he was a good observer; and as a short-story
INTRODUCTION xv
writer, as a novelist, as a playwright, as a traveler, as a
war correspondent, and at the last as the writer who first
told the world how the Germans entered Brussels, he was
still first of all an expert observer. Also, through inher-
itance and long training he may have "been what George Ade
calls "a good deseriber," but above everything and in
everything I am quite sure that Bichard's success was due
to seeing something that the untrained eye did not see.
And whatever criticism and difference of opinion my
brother's fiction may have caused, there is no question that
he had success the greatest of all success which, of
course, is happiness in one's work. In this he was su-
premely happy. He was happy when he conceived the germ
of an idea, and he was happy in building up a story or a
novel or a play on that idea ; he was happy when the manu-
script was finished, and if it was a story he was happy when
it was published, or if it was a play he was happy when it
was produced.
Until the last, no war cub reporter ever loved a good
"story" at the front as Richard did, and no one ever suf-
fered so deeply from the lack of one. I believe he was one
of the most conscientious workmen I have ever known in
his or any other craft. Towards Ms own work he was a
harsh critic, especially so in the case of news stories, when
acting as a war correspondent he had been compelled to
write hurriedly and with no chance of correcting Ms copy.
In writing fiction he toiled over every paragraph, every sen-
tence, and every word. In addition to the extreme interest
he took in all he wrote, he was actuated not only by a strong
desire to please his public, but to satisfy the publisher who
was paying him and incidentally always paying him well.
His etMcs in his profession were as high as they were in
his daily life, and the man who could bring discredit on the
craft was beyond his understanding. I recall the case of a
very rich man who suddenly became a world figure through
being a leader in a famous cause. Whether Eichard be-
lieved in the cause or not I do not know ; but the case of the
man appealed to Mm as extremely chivalric and dramatic,
and as such he wrote a news story wMeh was printed in
xvi INTRODUCTION
newspapers all over the world and for which I remember
Richard received four hundred dollars from the syndicate
who handled it. The day following the publication of the
story the rich man called on my brother and told him how
delighted he and his associates in the cause were and ? as a
slight token of their appreciation, proffered him a check for
thirty thousand dollars.
"But 1 wasn't boosting your cause, " Richard said.
4 * The conditions seemed to me to make you and your friends
sufficiently interesting to write a story about. My article
may have been worth thirty thousand dollars to your cause,
but I'm not a press-bureau; I'm a reporter and I consider
four hundred dollars a lot of money for my work. 57
And to do Richard further credit, in after years when
he would perhaps have welcomed the addition of thirty
thousand dollars to his bank account, I never heard Mm
regret his prompt decision to refuse the check. Beared by
a father and mother who not only admired but had a genu-
ine reverence for good English and for fine literature,
Richard had no more sympathy for the author who prosti-
tuted his talents for money than he had for the publishers
who first began to commercialize literature. Throughout
his life, towards the art of writing he was always as
chivalric and old fashioned as he was unalterably opposed
to phonetic spelling, sex stories, and the modern practice of
permitting a good story to trickle through a lane of paid
advertisements.
But I fear I have wandered far from my original object,
which was to show that as many of my brother's stories
point a moral, so does this record of his life's work. Very
old fashioned, if you will, the axioms may be found in any
copy book "Honesty is the best policy" and "Work is the
high road to success. " So it certainly was with Richard*
Work and work and then more work and, when the mind
and body showed the first signs of fatigue, seeking relaxa-
tion in a new field of literary labor, a new vehicle wherein
he could tell others of Ms thoughts and intei ests. As he
expressed it, in the language of the squared drcle, "Mixing
it up/* but never letting up, never getting 1 jred, or suf-
INTRODUCTION xvii
ficiently tired to let down in Ms standards; forcing himself
across a continent or an ocean to find something* new and
fine to tell others about; to bring a little happiness to the
people whose work and cares wouldn't permit them to cross
continents and oceans, and in the very telling to find his own
happiness, because it was in telling a story, in one form or
another, that Richard filled Ms life to the brim, held firmly
to his youth, and found a great happiness and content.

To this monthly periodical published by the students of
Lehigh University, South Bethlehem, Pa., Eichard Harding
Davis became a contributor in September, 1882, only a few
weeks after he entered college as a freshman. Volume II.,
No. 1 ? published in that month, bore his name also as an
editor ninth and last on the list, a position he held
throughout the college year and volume, in the last number
of which there are but eight editors named. The first num-
ber on p. 11 gives his name among the seventy-six freshmen.
Though a reader familiar with Davis *s work can identify
many things in the BUBB as his to a moral certainty, the
first article capable of identification is a story about My
Freshman, not yet named, the pet hero of Davis *s first
printed series, Conway Maur. The identified Davis contri-
butions to Volume IL are as follows (all unsigned) :

NOTE : We learn from the October and November, 1883,
BTJBB that the Fall Sports were held Oct. 9, and that the
hurdle race was won by E. H. Davis, '86, in 21 seconds,
five inches ahead of the second contestant ; the running high
jump was "won easily by E. H. Davis, 7 86, who cleared
5 feet and % inches." The football game with Lafayette
took place Oct. 25, and E. Davis was one of the " rushers "
on the team. It was their first game and Lafayette won,
56 to 0. Davis was also in the "rush line" in the game with
Eutgers, Nov. 1 ; and Eutgers won, 61 to 0. E. Davis played
in interclass game, Nov. 8, as halfback, "and made quite a
number of excellent runs." In the second game with La-
fayette, Nov. 12, the Davis brothers were halfbacks; "E.
Davis made a good run, scoring a touchdown for Lehigh
the first point made by our team." The only one, for the
score was 34 to 4.

Davis in the modest part of Mulcahey, bodyguard to King
Lollipop (in which he sang several songs composed "almost
entirely of brilliant hits at college affairs " ) ; and C. B. Davis
was The Dragon. At the supper after the performance,
B. H. Davis responded to the toast, "THE LEHIGH BURR
Ha! Ha! Bevenge!" and C. B. Davis to "Mustard and
Cheese; My Nap has given me an appetite."
B. H. Davis appeared in the Winter Sports list of win-
ners, as successful in the running high jump, 5 feet, 1*4
inches.

NOTE : The front cover bears an eight-line Note of Ex-
planation for the change of cover, to the effect that "the
late managing editor, on being expelled from the Board of
the LEHIGH BURR, captured the plates from which the cover
was heretofore printed and retains them as self-satisfying
proof of his being connected with the paper. " This note
was by Davis and refers to his predecessor, who failed to
print a severe criticism of the EPITOME OF '86.
Mr. Howe states that this number was the first and only
one produced by B. H. D. as Managing Editor, as the fol-
lowing autumn he went to Johns Hopkins University.

THE EPITOME OF '86 was an account of the classes at
Lehigh and their various members and activities in April,
1884, when it was published, bearing the name of the Senior
Class, that of 7 86. The Editors were selected from the dif-
ferent classes, and Richard Harding Davis, though a
Sophomore, received the remarkable honor of election as
Chairman of the Board of Editors. He not only filled that
office, but contributed largely to the literary contents of the
EPITOME and designed the cover, of which this is a photo-
graph. His initials, R. D., can be seen near the lower right-
hand corner of the design.

From this EPITOME we learn not only that Davis was the
Chairman of the Editorial Committee, and the facts set forth
in Mr. Howe's Biography of Davis, which begins the book
p. (5) and which is here set forth in full; but that he was a
regular member of the Class of '86 (Sophomore Class), and
Historian thereof, was in the Latin Scientific department,
and resided on Fourth Street, Philadelphia, Pa.

lesque style of a classical history, and begins: "Seventeen
years after the founding of the city, Maximns Prex III
being consul, the citizens in past times known as FraicJiies
were admitted to the rank of Sophomores/' etc. This no
doubt was Davis 's work, as it was signed Historian.
B. H. Davis and his brother Charles, '87, were members
of the Executive Committee of the Lehigh University Lawn
Tennis Association, and on Sept. 15, 1883, Charles won the
singles in the Championship Tournament, and both Davises
won the doubles (p. 70). Both brothers were singers on
their respective Class Double Quartettes, E. H. D. singing
second tenor and Charles first tenor. Both brothers were
members of The Hefty Dining Club, founded 1867. B. H.
Davis was a regular member of the editorial staff of the
LEHIGH BUKR.
Among the facetious quotations from various students
appear these: " 'Well, now, if it wasn't for this Latin I'd
have a pretty easy time' (Chap. II) D-v-s, B." (p. 88).
"Mr. B. D-v-s 'What is that Professor Bird reads
every morning?'
' ' Professo r * Proverbs. '
"Mr. D-v-s 'Why, isn't the Bible good enough for
him?' " (p. 89).
Near the end of the text are three one-page Dramas and
Dialogues, Localized and Adapted for the Use of College
Commencements, etc. ; the first is entitled A Scrap of Paper;
the second, Noli Me Tang ere; the third, Tuition Free. A
tragedy in one Act. Any one or all of these may have been
Davis 's work, but as Noli Me Tangere is the only one he
put in his scrapbook, we may assume that he wrote only that.
The text closes with & couple of pages of Proverbs,
jokingly applied to various students. One reads: " 'His
coat not much the worse for wear' D-v-s, B." (p. 101).
Other items without identifiable signature but preserved
by B. H. D. in his scrapbook and evidently printed in the
LEHIGH BUBE are :
'A Girl I "Don't Want" to Know (four 4-line
stanzas).
10 RICHARD HARDING DAVIS
My Penates (four 4-line stanzas).
Bellum in Castris (18-line poem, signed The
Hack).
An Unattainable Luxury (three 8-line stanzas,
signed Tlie Hack).
Tom and I (three 4-line stanzas).
The University Annex (Destroyed by Fire,
October 6, 1884) (24-line poem),

THE STAGE
The Stage
While Davis was a reporter on the Philadelphia Press
he, with others, started a weekly dramatic review called
THE STAGE, No. 1 bearing the date Saturday, September 29,
1888. The front page bore the words THE STAGE in red
capitals; below, in small black type at left, Copyright Se-
cured 1888. Then a double rule across the page and the
number, the date, and the words Five Cents. Below was
a full-page caricature of John Drew with his name in
type, beloAV which in autograph are the words : Perhaps
you can see the humor of this I don't! J. D.
Davis, under the name of The Lime Light Man, wrote a
page of gossip, reminiscence, and anecdote in every num-
ber, ceasing with No. 21, but not until No. 16, Jan. 12, 1889,
was it signed ; then the initials R. H. D. appeared.
THE STAGE was a little over 9 X 12 inches and consisted
of twelve pages numbered 1-12 until No. 18, Jan. 26, 1889,
when it increased to sixteen pages.
At the head of the editorial column appear the names of
those responsible, thus: Morton MacMichael, 3d, Editor
and Publisher. Richard Harding Davis, Barclay H. War-
burton, Associate Editors. Warburton's name last ap-
peared in No. 14. Edward Fales Coward's name appeared
as Associate Editor with Davis until No. 33, May 11, 1889,
when their names appeared for the last time as Editors.
Throughout the pages of THE STAGE, those familiar with
Davis ? s manner can identify unsigned work of his ; the fol-
lowing are more certainly identified :
The Wreck of the Cinders Co. With Abject Apologies
to W. S. Gilbert (poem, fifteen four-line stanzas, signed
12 RICHARD HARDING DAVIS
R. H. Davis). THE STAGE, No. 1, Sept. 29, 188S, p. 7; one
column.
The Office Boy's Remarks. Id., p. 8; one column signed
Peanuts ; mentions G-allegher, tlie call-boy.
Some Philadelphia Amateurs. THE STAGE, No. 3, Oct.
13, 1888, p. 8 (iy 4 columns, signed R, H. D.).
To the Ladies of the Chorus (poem, eight four-line
stanzas). THE STAGE, No. 5, Oct. 27, 1888, p. 7, one column,
signed R. H. Davis.
Lime Light Man, The. THE STAGE, No. 15, Jan. 5, 1889,
p. 5. One page on interviewers (mentioned the next week
asbyR. H. D.).
Lime Light Man, The. THE STAGE, No. 16, Jan. 12, 1889,
p. 5. One page on advance agents, signed R. H. D.
Lime Light Man, The. THE STAGE, No. 20, Feb. 9, 1889,
pp. 4-5 (signed R.H.D.).
The following letter by Davis to Ms brother Charles,
hitherto unpublished, gives the best prospectus of the
venture :
DEAB Ghus :
I am delighted over your coming home, but I wish you
had chosen the llth as we then could have had Wednesday
together. I will try to get the day changed, but I doubt if I
will be successful. Morton MacMichael, Barclay Warburton,
and myself will startle the American public on Oct. 29 with
a new dramatic w ee ^ly called THE STAGE. It will be a six-
teen page paper illustrated about the size of LIFE and will
be published in Philadelphia. If it is possible for any good
thing to come out of the Quaker City, this paper will be it ;
and if it don't go, it would be [not] because the men who
got it out are not bright enough but because the public is too
stupid to appreciate it. We will run it as a corporation
Morton taking $3000 worth of stock, Barclay $1500, and
myself the other $500 to be paid for in work, not money.
That is, I will be credited with so much money for work
THE STAGE.
Ihe sale of Lester \\ ill-ick's effects, in
New York, recently, must have been dis-
touraging to those living actors who think
the hero worship whu h is given so freely to
them now will follow them after they are
dead, and that the careless public will
irt.istire materul mementoes of them as well
All of the relius put up at public auction
brought but little over $400, a paltry sum,
in (feed, and one that redounds but little to
the credit of the late actor's executors, who,
with a little'trouble, could have realized four
times that amount, by disposing of the goods
privately toactor-mamacsor personal friends
of the great actor manager"
A* it is, some EJast side barber wPfi delight

Actors and actresses, as a rule, best appre
cnte the sentimental value of a property or
some part of 4 costume once worn by a
fellow-thespian We have an instance of
it m Miss Ellen Terry's treasuring Mrs Sid -

jusr before she essayed La fy Macbeth
When Mrs Potter was last here, she
showed me a dagger which B,*llewhad given
her, which had once belonged to Kdrnund
Kean She used it in Loyal Lav f, and I
have no doubt that every time she held it
aloft, the spirit of Kean writhed in anguish
When Creston Clarke started out as .1
star, his uncle, Edwin Booth, gave him his
entire theatrical wardrobe, or at least tli.u
Ionian" of it which he had laid aside, tin
characters for which it was suited, hiving
been dropped from his repertroire Clarke
appreciated the value of the gift thoroughly,
and wa? inspired to a greater or less clegm
by the costumes and their history.
W J Florence wears to this day the
clothes of "Daddy" Burton, which he pur-
( hased at the death of thb great comedian.

game up to him at the end of the act very
aigry arid *?ked hun what excuse he had to
offer for his conduct; "Upon my soul,
Mr Florence," said Parkes, " It was pure
embarrafasiriLnt, when I saw > on standing
there, looking for all the world like Daddy
Burton, and talking like him, and acting
like him, it was a-, if the spirit of (he great
Burton himself was speaking to me, and I
clean forgot my lines "
Florence, somewhat flattered, said, "Well,
don't let it occur again," and walked off
He only went however, a-s far as the other
side of the siene, against which Parkes was
standing As he was waning there for his
( ue to go on he overheard one of the corn
pan/say, "1 hat was very ingenious, Parkes,
would you mind telling mt what it was the
spirit of the great Burton said to you?"
"Whv," answered Parkes, with a chuckle,
he said "tell that d n fool to take off

Thtreare a great many actor maniacs who

dressed in black alpaca with i brown fur
cape, another wore a black mantel covered
with beads, which hid her figure completely,
and the third had a heavy black jersey
drawn over a brown cloth dress. She also
wore a cape. None of them wore gloves,
and their boots were very large. They
were standing wrapt in admiration of a
passing cable car, which caused one of them
to say " Look, Maudie, at the tram without
horses "
They make up very well on the stage, as

done at colnmn rates until I own the stock. I stand to lose
the time I put on the paper if it fails. If it succeeds I will
gain the stock which will amount to the total of my salary
on THE STAGE if I drew one at space rates. In short, it ? s a
"spec" in which the other men put in time and money both
of which they can afford and in which I put time, some of
which I can afford. So far it looks very promising, but its
being published here is against it. I will talk over the
details with you when you return. "We will move into our
downtown office very soon and will be glad to have you drop
in and smoke the $18 a hundred segars which Barclay keeps
on tap. It will take a few mornings of every week and will
be pleasant and easy work. The perquisites will be pleas-
ant and I can get my name before the great American
Public through it very easily. Now is the time to make up
Clubs. Give my best love to Mother and Nora and believe
ine that I am very anxious to see you. I am quite well and
happy. All goes well on the Press.
Yours,
DICK
I may add that Barclay has next to nothing to do with the
paper beyond gathering in subscriptions.

SEPARATELY PRINTED WORKS
CHRONOLOGICALLY ARRANGED WITH
DESCRIPTION AND NOTES
NOTE: The first auction sale of a collected set of first
editions of Davis ? s books was that of Jndd Stewart, de-
ceased, a well-known collector living at Plainfield, N. J.
The sale took place by order of his son, R. E. Stewart, Esq.,
of Ghent, N. Y., who inherited the books. The auction was
held by the American Art Galleries, New York City, on the
evening of Nov. 21, 1921, and the set was sold as one lot. It
included all the books regularly issued in hard bindings, but
only three of the pamphlets, the extremely rare DR.
JAMESON'S RAIDEBS (1897), and the plays, THE ZONE POLICE,
and PEACE MANOEUVRES, both published in 1914. THE
THBEB GRINGOS (1896) was inscribed with a 6-line quota-
tion from the book and signed; A YEAR FROM A REPORTER ? s
NOTE BOOK contained a 9-line quotation from the book
signed; TPIE CUBAIST AND PORTO BICA~ST CAMPAIGNS had a
3-line quotation, signed ; and an autograph letter, 1 p., was
laid in THE RED CROSS GIRL (1912). With the set were the
ADVENTURES AND LETTERS (1917); E. H. D. (1917); two
magazine excerpts and SILHOUETTES OF AMERICAN LIFE
(1892) by Eebecca Harding Davis. The entire lot was sold
to the Aldus Book Company for $75.

These sketches first appeared in the columns of the
LEHIGH BURR.
[8vo, 20% cm. Collation: green paper cover, drawing of two
men seated before a grate fire; the letters around the picture
are : Adventures/ of my/ Freshman/ by It. EL Davis./ Illus-
trated/ by H. W. Eowley./ The inside and back cover are
blank. Two blank leaves; frontispiece, pp. (1-2); title (as
above), p. (3); imprint: Moravian Print, 146 Main Street,
Bethlehem, Pa., p. (4) ; text, pp. (5)-45 (46) ; three leaves of
advertisements, pp. (47-52) ; two blank leaves.]
The stories, each with a full-page illustration, bear the
following names :
PAGE
Unappreciated Zeal 6
A Disciple of Theodore HooWs 11
Conway Maur as a Thespian 19
An Ass in Lion's Clothing 27
A Commencement Boomerang 35
A Midsummer Idyl 43
NOTE : All but the last of these stories appeared in the
LEHIGH BTJRB, 1882-3. Charles Belmont Davis says this
was printed at the expense of their mother, Mrs. Eebecca
Harding Davis, at E. H. D.'s request, and was for sale at
25 cents a copy around Lehigh University at South Beth-
lehem, Pa., where E. H. D. was a student. Later, the unsold
copies were stored at the family home in Philadelphia,
where he found them years later and destroyed all but a
few copies, one of which he presented to the Authors' Club
at New York, with an autograph explanation of its origin.
This inscription is given at pp. 18-19 of ADVENTURES AND
LETTERS, 1917, as follows :
"This is a copy of the first book of mine published.
My family paid to have it printed and finding no one
else was buying it, bought up the entire edition. Find-
ing the first edition had gone so quickly, I urged them
to finance a second one, and when they were unen-
thusiastic I was hurt. Several years later when I found
18 RICHARD HARDING DAVIS
the entire edition in our attic, I understood their
reluctance. The reason the book did not sell is, I think,
"because some one must have read it."
The Authors * Club sold this at an auction at Anderson's,
New York, May 20, 1915, for the benefit of the Belgian war
sufferers. It brought $14.
NOTE: Although titles in general, etc., are usually in capitals and small
capitals, no attempt has been made in the collations to imitate or follow the
capitalization, as it is in no case significant for purposes of identification.

A BIBLIOGRAPHY ' 19
The cover design, in darker color than the cloth, is a
football, bearing in gilt : Stories for Boys, surrounded by
eight tennis bats, each with a ribbon around the handle,
alternating with eight baseball bats, between which are six-
teen baseballs. Below are three little sloops under full sail
and below them a ribbon bearing the author's name, gilt,
below which is 1891. A modification of this scheme appears
on the backbone.
STOKIES FOB BOYS first appeared in ST. NICHOLAS, New
York Evening Sun, and other periodicals; then was first
issued in book form in brown and some perhaps later in
gray; in the first issue the protective thin paper leaf over
the frontispiece is wove paper, i.e., held to the light, the
texture appears woven. In the later issues the paper of the
protective leaf is laid ; i.e., held to the light, parallel hori-
zontal lines are visible in the texture. The type of the page
heading is broken in the earliest copies, especially on p. 91.
Published price, $1.
NOTE: The English edition of STORIES FOR BOYS was
published by J. S. Osgood, McElvaine & Co., London, 1892,
204 pp.
NOTE : A presentation copy of STORIES FOR BOYS (sold by
Drake of New York, October, 1919, for $12.50) is addressed
in Davis ? s hand to a friend by name, followed by the words :
From a young admirer of his, with signature and date.
Charles Belmont Davis says :
* ' But of all the happy incidents I can recall at the
Twenty-eighth Street house, the one I remember most
distinctly took place in the hallway the night that
Eichard received the first statement and check for his
first book of short stories, and before the money had
begun to come in as fast as it did afterward. We were
on our way to dinner at some modest resort when we
20 RICHARD HARDING DAVIS
saw and at once recognized the long envelope on the
mantel Richard guessed it would be for one hundred
and ninety dollars, but with a rather doubting heart I
raised my guess to three hundred. And when, with
trembling fingers, Richard had finally torn open the
envelope and found a check for nine hundred and odd
dollars, what a wild dance we did about the hall-table,
and what a dinner we had that night ! Not at the mod-
est restaurant as originally intended, but at Delmon-
ICO's!" (AD VENTURES AJSTD LETTERS, p. 59.)

NOTE: THE RULEBS OF THE MEDITERRANEAN was first
published in HARPER'S WEEKLY, Vol. 37, from May 20 to
Aug. 19, 1893. The date of the publication of the boot
by Harpers was Dec. 8, 1893, the title page bearing the year
1894. Later editions are distinguishable by the absence of
any date on title page or by dates subsequent to 1894, or by
list of books on verso of title page or advertisements of
Davis ? s books. The Stewart copy carries none of these.
Davis ? s trip began early in February, 1893, and addi-
tional letters, written to his family, appear in ADVEKTTJBES
AND LETTERS, pp. 96-124.
NOTE: In an autographed copy of THE RULERS OF THE
MEDITERKANEAN (which was sold in October, 1919, by Drake
of New York for $12.50) Davis wrote : To anyone who has
but a little time and little money to spare for his holiday, I
would suggest his going to Gibraltar and then to Spain and
Morocco. Sincerely Yours, Richard Harding Davis."
NOTE : In an interview (Boston Herald, Apr. 12, 1896)
Davis said of THE RULERS or THE MEDITERRANEAN : 6 ' That
book, which people have, I'm told, used for a guide book,
was written partly in the winter in Constantinople. My,
how cold it was ! I sat with my legs wrapped around the
little china stove and wrote on top of it, with my teeth
chattering, about 'the blue-eyed Bosphorus.* There is an
instance of getting the facts right down while under the
spell of the experience. By the way, how's that for cold
realism? I try to make the book interesting for a person
who has never been there and does not know anything about
the place. 9 ?

"Now here I have been thrown with men and
women on as equal terms as a crew of sailors cast away
upon a desert island. We were each a law unto him-
self."
Davis once said to an interviewer: "THE EXILES
was suggested by an event which came to my knowl-
edge in Algiers some people were robbed, and the
man skipped to Brazil where no law could touch him.
I asked the victims what they would give me to go down
there and recover the money. Then it occurred to me to
write a story on that foundation, in which a man would
make his revolver a law." (Boston Herald, Apr. 12,
1896.)

Charles Belmont Davis says :
"In February, 1894, Eichard was forced by a severe
attack of sciatica to give up temporarily the gayeties
of New York and for a cure he naturally chose our
home in Philadelphia, where he remained for many
weeks. Although unable to leave his bed, he continued
to do a considerable amount of work, including the
novelette 'The Princess Aline/ in the writing of which
I believe my brother took more pleasure than in that
of any story or novel he ever wrote. The future
Empress of Eussia was the heroine of the tale, and that
she eventually read the story and was apparently de-
lighted with it caused Eichard much human happi-
ness/' (ABYBKTUEES AHD LETTEKS, p. 131)

A Poster for the Illustrated Edition of
Three Gringos in Central America and
Venezuela,
A [BIBLIOGRAPHY 37
Davis, with Somerset and Griseom, began his trip to
South and Central America about Jan. 1, 1895, and re-
turned about April. Many letters to Ms family appear in
ADVENTURES AND LETTERS, pp. 140-165.
The author wrote his brother, Dec. 31, 1895 : "The Cen-
tral American and Venezuelan book comes out on February
1st. Several of the papers here jokingly alluded to the fact
that my article on the Venezuelan boundary had inspired
the President's Message. . . . My article was a very lucky
thing and is greatly quoted and in social gatherings I am
appealed to as an authority." (ADVENTURES AND LETTERS,
p. 170.)
NOTE: The Stewart copy, sold at the American Art
Galleries Nov. 21, 1921, was in grayish buff cloth, list of
Davis books on obverse of title and leaf of publishers'
advertisements at the end. So is EL Somers Somerset's
copy, with his bookplate, inscribed by Davis as follows : To
H. Somers Somerset in memory of the days when he was
single, thirsty and miserable even though the crown of
Honduras rested on his brow and wishing him well as a
lowly British subject, a proud husband and a transatlantic
cousin. Richard Harding Davis.
NOTE: Some Central Americans were annoyed by the
tone of this book ; one of them told a reporter that it would
be "exceedingly unhealthy for Mr. Davis to return to Hon-
duras in the near future. " New York Tribune, Sept. 21,
1895, p. 7, col. 2.
NOTE: A copy of this book, 1896, sold at C. F. Libbie's
auction, Boston, May 7-8, 1918, for 50 cents.
NOTE : A poster for this book appeared at the height of
the poster craze and is by Edward Penfield, the most
famous of American poster artists. The background is
light green, lettering in black with red initials, the water is
white with black and buff shadows, and the two human fig-
ures are buff. Size : height, 44.3 cm. ; width, 29.3 cm.
38 RICHARD HARDING DAVIS
NOTE: A statement in the Evening Sun, New York,
July 25, 1919, by "The Marquise de Fontenoy" that Henry
Somers Somerset published his experiences on this trip
under the title, The Land of the Muskeg, is erroneous;
Somerset there described an earlier trip of his own to Brit-
ish North America.
NOTE : In an interview for the Boston Herald, published
Apr. 12, 1896, Davis was quoted thus :
"Have you seen my new book ? It has only been out
a few days, and already there is trouble about it.
When we were riding along through Central America,
we gave away $200 (in fives and tens) to Americans
whom we met on the way, and who asked us for money
to help them to get back home. Since that statement
appeared in print, several coffee planters down there
(some of them friends of ours) have written letters to
the New York Herald and other papers denying it, and
alleging that every American in Central America is
happy, and that not one of them wishes to leave. I
wrote to these coffee planters to know why they de-
liberately stated what they knew to be untrue. They
replied that the interests of the country demanded it.
. . . Pm glad I said what I did in that instance. If
that book keeps one American citizen free from dis-
appointment and loss, or saves one American dollar
from going to Honduras, no one can say that IVe
never done any good in the world. "

SOLDIERS OF FORTUNE first appeared in Vol. 21 of SCBIB-
NER'S MAGAZINE, Jan.- June, 1897.
Augustus Thomas's account of creating with Davis in
Cuba the film version of SOLDIERS OF FORTUNE is in
"R. H. D." 1917, and in ADVENTURES AND LETTERS, pp.
351-3; Davis 's own account, Breaking into the Movies, ap-
peared in SCKIBNEB'S MAGAZINE, Mar., 1914.
Regarding SOLDIEBS OF FOBTTTNE, R. H. D. wrote, Dec. 31,
1895, to his brother :
"I am not much of a letter writer these days, but
I have finished the novel, and that must make up for it.
It goes to the Scribners for $5,000, which is not as
much as I think I should have got for it." (METBO-
POLITAN MAGAZINE, June, 1917, p. 28.)
This book proved the greatest financial success of the
author's career. In 1899 the one hundred and fourteenth
thousand was being advertised by the publishers ; in 1902
the one hundred and thirty-fifth thousand.
40 RICHARD HARDING DAVIS
SOLDIEBS OF FOKTUNE dramatised became a successful
play, and in 1902 Scribners brought out a Playgoer's Edi-
tion of the novel ($1.50, 364 pp., 20% cm.) containing
eighteen illustrations from photographs of stage scenes of
the theatrical version.
In 1899 it was published by Scribners in a smaller size
(14% cm,) ? in two volumes, in red cloth (Copyright Nos.

NOTES: "Part of this book was published originally in
the form of letters from Cuba to the New York Journal
and in the newspapers of a syndicate arranged by the Jour-
nal; the remainder . . . appear here for the first time,"
The copyright record in the Library of Congress is
1897 ; the notice in the second edition of the book is 1898 ; it
is, therefore, wrongly described in sale catalogues as first edi-
tion. The second edition omits from the note above quoted
following Illustrations, the words: and are here repro-
duced through the courtesy of Mr. "W". B. Hearst; it also
omits the printer's name on p. 143.

NOTES: The retail price was $1.25. Copyright regis-
tered June 24, 1898; published June 25, 1898. In 1899 al-
though an edition like the above was issued, Seribners copy-
righted this (No. 66194) in the new 16mo edition with 197
pp. Oct. 9, 1903, Seribners copyrighted THE KING'S JACKAL
for the third time (20 cm.) with frontispiece, five plates
inserted, and 43 additional pages, totalling 218 pp., due to
the addition of The Reporter Who Made Himself King,
published first in book form in STORIES FOE BOYS (1891) and
again in CINDERELLA AND OTHER STORIES (1896), The Eng-
lish edition was published by W. Heinemann, London, Aug.
26, 1898, pp. 149, and in his sevenpenny series, June 25,
1915. THE KING'S JACKAL first appeared in SCRIBNEK'S
MAGAZINE, Vol. 23, Apr.-July, 1898, illustrated by Charles
Dana Gibson. A striking poster was issued for the April
SCRIBNER'S by Penrhyn Stanlaws from the portrait of Davis
by Nicholson. The twenty-fifth thousand was advertised
by Seribners in 1898.
THE KING'S JACKAL bears some resemblance to KINGS IN
EXILE, written earlier by Alphonse Daudet ; but Davis, it is
stated, had not read the earlier story before writing his own
(New York Bun, Apr. 26, 1914; Sept. 7, 1919).

CAPT. MACKLIN His MEMOIRS first appeared in SCRIB-

9, 1906, referring to Maurice's appreciative article in the
BooKMAisr for April ("The Eepresentative American Story
Teller, " BOOKMAN, 23 : 146) :
"Nothing ever hurt me so much as the line used by
many reviews of * Macklin 7 that *Mr. Davis ? s hero is
a cad, and Mr. Davis cannot see it/ Macklin was the
best thing I ever did, and it was the one over which I
took the most time and care. Its failure was what, as
Maggie Cline used to say, * drove me into this business ?
of playwriting. All that ever was said of it was that
it was * A book to read on railroad trains and in a ham-
mock.' That was the verdict as delivered to me by
Eomeike from 300 reviewers, and it drove me to farces.
So, I was especially glad when you liked 'Boyal
Macklin/ I tried to make a hero who was vain, theat-
rical, boasting, and self-conscious, but still likable.

But I did not succeed in making Mm of interest, and It
always lias hurt me." (ADVENTTJEES AND LETTERS, p.
317-8.)
CAPTAIN MACKLIJST and BAETSO:N ? S FOLLY were evidently
printed and bound at about the same time, as there is an
advertisement of both in the first edition of both ; but BAU-
SON 's FOLLY was issued to the public in the summer;
CAPTAIN HACKLES' in the fall.
NOTE : Franklin Fyles commenced the dramatization of
CAPTAIKT MACKLIK, but completed only one act.
The following is from a long article in the New York
Evening Post of Apr. 15, 1916 :
"A side of Mr. Davis 's personality that never was noticed
pnbliely was the odd, chivalrous interest he took in the
wrecked gentlemen adventurers of whom he wrote. No such
wastrel ever went uncared for if Davis heard he was in
trouble. When the old soldier of fortune who was the origi-
nal of Davis 's greatest character, General La Guerre, in
'Captain Macklln 7 perhaps the most vital character he ever
drew died in a furnished-room house in New York, practi-
cally of starvation, leaving nothing but a trunkful of medals
and orders, swords of honor, and faded uniforms, it was
Davis who stepped forward and did what could be done, and
in private almost wept at the thought that lie had not known
of his old friend's plight, until too late to save him."
A copy of the first edition of this (gilt lettering and top)
and one of THE Lioisr AND THE UNICOB^, both inscribed by the
author, from the James Carleton Young collection, were
sold at auction for $22 at Anderson 's, New York, Jan. 15,
1919, and were immediately resold for $15 each. The in-
scription (from p. 52) in CAPTAIN MAGKLIE* is as follows:
"the strange flag that tossed and whimpered in the air
above my head, the strange flag of unknown, tawdry colors,
like the painted face of a woman in the street, but a flag at
which I cheered and shouted as though it were my own,"
Eichard Harding Davis, May, 1906,
In 1902 the following letter appeared in the Sun of
New York :
56 RICHARD HARDING DAVIS
To THE EDITOB OF THE SUN Sir: For some time I have
been reading rare stories in the newspapers of soldiers of
fortune in the present war, of whom at least three have
been romantically described as the original of Eichard
Harding Davis 's hero, Captain Macklin. All of this is
bunk. Now, in the interest of history, let me tell the truth.
Davis really derived his Captain Macklin from a certain
American youth named Jeffries, a bright and gallant chap
whom he first met at Puerto Cortez during a visit to Hon-
duras in the early ? 90 ? s.
Jeffries was the best fighting man of foreign birth that
ever bore arms in Central America and was recognized as
such. He became a General of Honduras nearly thirty
years ago and participated in campaigns innumerable.
After the overthrow of the faction to which he was allied,
he went over into Salvador and for a period was the effi-
cient chief of operations of the renowned dictator, Antonio
Ezeta. So much for Jeffries, who can still be found in
Tegucigalpa, when not on a visit to the States.
I myself introduced Dick Davis to the respected General
Maclvor, the original of his General Laguerre in "Captain
Macklin/' in John Chamberlain's place in "Washington a
couple of years after Davis ? s return from his Central
American trip, and he was so impressed with the adven-
tures related by the General, who had fought under a dozen
flags, that he not only wove him into his book, but, to make
things realistic, had the artist reproduce his likeness in the
illustrations. General Maclvor died in New York, I think,
about 1900.

62 RICHARD HARDING DAVIS
As French is given on the title page at his new location,
this separate publication followed French's separate print-
ing of THE GALLOPER, unless French is mistaken in stating
the above to be his first edition. (See note under THE
GALLOPEB.)
In a letter to his mother, London, Feb. 23, 1909, Davis
wrote: "Seymour and I began work yesterday on The
Dictator. It went very smooth. " (ADVENTUKES AOT
LETTEKS, p. 340.)
"William Collier produced THE DICTATOR. It opened at
the Hyperion Theatre, New Haven, Feb. 4, 1904, and after
a month or two on the road, it opened in New York at the
Criterion Theatre, April 4, 1904, and it met universal ap-
proval. (See PLAYS.)
A comment by Arthur B. Maurice (New York Sun,
Sept. 7, 1919) referring to a story by 0. Henry, is as fol-
lows :
"The situation out of which grew 'The World and
the Door 7 is identically the situation of Eichard Har-
ding Davis ? s play, 'The Dictator,' which in turn drew
upon an episode of Davis ? s earlier tale, 'The Exiles. 3 "

Davis' hired the house of the painter, Turner, 118
Cheyne Walk, Chelsea, London, for the winter of 1908-9.
" It is a wonderful place in which to write the last chapters
of Once Upon a Time," he wrote to his mother, Dec. 25,
1908 ; and Dec. 29 : "The novel goes on smoothly, and all is
well 77 (ADVENTURES AND LETTEBS, pp. 336, 338). No story
or novel of that name has been identified as by Davis.
Peace Manoeuvres was evidently based on Davis ? s ex-
periences at Marion, Mass., in August, 1909, during the
army's war game, described in ADVENTURES AND LETTERS,

The Roosevelt Demonstration
At Madison Square Garden as
Seen by Richard Harding Davis
A Demonstration That Had the Sound of Congratulation and
j! A Greeting from Old Friends, to One
Who Had Nearly fcscapcd Them.
"Besides his long and notable hst of short and long faction, Richard
Harding Davis has done enough reporting in twenty years to satisfy one
ordinary career. He has followed three great world-wars. He Haas gone to
the hottom of the Congo situation. He has reported the Weat from a car
window and England from the seat of a trap. Into all that work the report-
ing which i literature he has put the same vision and the same magic of
words." From a current sketch of Mr. Davis.
By Richard Harding Davis
(Written by Mr. Davis on the night of the atinf)
Theodore Roosevelt, who, two weeks ago, lay in the Shadow of the Valley,
tonight showed himself in strength and health to his followers, or to as many
thousands of them as could fight their way into Madison Square Garden, into
Madison Square, into the open streets that lead to it.
It was a crowd of 100,000, and in heartiness and enthusiasm it was like the
Nev, York crowd on Election night With this difference, on Election night the
croud favors several candidates Last night it favored one
The wnter has seen various demonstrations in favor of Theodore Roosevelt,
demonstrations of affection when the young men of his regiment cheered him
from the trenches after the fight for San Juan, demonstrations o loyalty when
the Republicans who had voted for him for President lined Pennsylvania Avenue
and cheered him as he drove to the White House, demonstrations of good-will
when, after his return from Africa, he rode up Broadway and the roof-tops
swayed, and demonstrations of fealty and devotion at Chicago when the Pro-
gressive party chose him for its leader
Eat this demonstration to-night carried & diffararat tousidl th osad f
ottfratulation and thanksfivinf. It was greeting from old frfonds to
wSso had nearly escaped them. Some felt that he had not left them only be-
cause a gun-metal spectacle case had interfered, others felt that in believing thi
Providence was being robbed of its credit, and in his escape and recovery saw
the sign of a divine will
'proportions, with horns like a hatrack
and illuminated with a spot light. On
the platform for the speakers that jutted
out into the fed sea of bandannas, like
So. that to a natural relief over the
rtscue ot a brave man from the bullet
of an assassin there was added a sug-
gestion of the supernatural, a not un-
pleasing belief that this must be The
Man >of Destiny.
Nor "did the conduct of the man of
destiny when he was attacked make him
less popular with those who liked him
ess po
for his impulsiveness, his enthusiasm,
his fighting spirit. Had either of the
two other candidates been attacked and

in the Q-erman vote, or in advertising of G-erman
breweries (such a hard word to say) I thought, con-
sidering the exclusive stories I had sent them, instead
of kicking, they ought to be sending me a few bouquets.
Especially, as I got cables from Q-ouvey, Whigham,
Scribner's and others congratulating me on the anti-
Grerman stories. So I cabled "Wheeler to tell papers
of Ms syndicate, dictation from them as to what I
should write was 'unexpected/ that they could go to
name-of -place censored and that if he wished I would
release him from his contract tonight. Considering
that without credentials I was with French, Belgian,

Brussels and sacking of Louvain and got arrested as

An Appeal
by RICHARD HARDING DAVIS
)OU are invited to help women, children and old people in Paris
and in France, wherever the war has brought desolation and dis-
tress. To France you owe a debt. It is not alone the debt you
incurred when your great grandfathers fought for liberty, and to help
them, France sent soldiers, ships and two great generals, Rochambeau
and La Fayette. You owe France for that, but since then you have
incurred other debts.
Though you may never have visited France, her art, literature,
her discoveries in Science, her sense of what is beautiful, whether in
a bonnet, a boulevard or a triumphal arch, have visited you. For
them you are the happier; and for them also, to France you .are in debt.
If you have visited Paris, then your debt is increased a hundred
fold. For to whatever part of France you journeyed, there you found
courtesy, kindness, your visit became a holiday, you departed with a
sense of renunciation; you were determined to return. And when
after the war, you do revisit France, if your debt is unpaid, can you
without embarrassment sink into debt still deeper? What you sought
Paris gave you freely. Was it to study art or to learn history, for the
history of France is the history of the world; was it to dine under the
trees or to rob the Rue de la Paix of a new model; was it for weeks to
motor on the white roads or at a cafe table watch the world pass?
Whatever you sought, you found. Now, as in 1776 we fought 5 to-day
France fights for freedom, and in behalf of all the world, against
militarism that is "made in Germany.'*
Her men are in the trenches; her women are working in the fields,
sweeping the Paris boulevards, lighting the street lamps. They are
undaunted, independent, magnificently capable. They ask no charity.
But from those districts the war has wrecked, there are hundreds of
thousands of women and little children without work, shelter or food.
To them throughout the war zone ihe Secours National gives instant
relief. In one day in Paris alone it provides 80,000 free meals.
Six cents pays 'for one of these meals. One dollar from you will for
a week keep a woman or child alive.
The story is that" one man said, "In this war the Women and
children suffer mot. I'm awfully sorry for them!" and the other
man said, "Yes I'm five dollars sorry. How sorry are you?"
If ever you intend paying that debt you owe to France do not
wait until me war is ended. Nor, while you still owe it, do not again
impose yourself upon her hospitality, her courtesy, her friendship.
But, pay the debt now.
And then, when next in Paris you sit at your favorite table and
your favorite waiter hands you the menu, will you not the more enjoy
your dinner if you know that while he was fighting on the Aisne, it
was your privilege to help a little in keeping his wife and child alive.

The Man Who Had Everything 308
What a War Correspondent said
about Tobacco for Soldiers
Among the papers left by Richard Harding Davis, the brilliant
American War Correspondent and Author, his brother discovered the fol-
lowing message, written apparently a few days previous to his death:
"Men at home who breathe tobacco smoke as
fieely as they breathe air, cannot know how much
tobacco means to the man in the trenches, or rather
how much the loss of it means. During the Spanish-
American War, in the U. S. Army regulations, to-
lucco was officially classified as 'Officers' Supplies.'
It was considered a luxury.
''When I cabled from Cuba that our soldiers in
Cuba needed tobacco,, my appeal was ridiculed and I
was asked if our soldiers did not also want silk paja-
'inas and eau-de-cologne. The man who had never
gone without tobacco, and who could fill his pouch or
case at the street corner, still thought tobacco a luxury.
"It was Sir Fiaderick Treves, during the South
African War, who made people understand that foi
the soldiers tobacco was a necessity. A man can
hunger; he can suffer cold, fatigue and wounds; these
things he can endure if he can smoke.
"I have been a looker-on on seven wars, and I
find it so with each of them, and with men of all
races. Give them Tobacco and there is no hardship
that they will not cheerfully suffer. So with the pur-
pose of your fund, I, for one, am heartily in accord.
"If the glorious record of the Canadian Troops
has been made on short rations of tobacco, we may
feel confident that well supplied with it they will in a
short time be in Berlin, which is the heartfelt wish of,
(Signed) RICHARD HARDING DAVIS,"
The above is the testimony of a man who had been through seven wars,
and who himself knew personally a soldier's needs.
Unfortunately, the money being subscribed to the Belgian Soldiers*
Tobacco Fund is insufficient to provide each man with a weekly tobacco sup-
ply, and an earnest appeal is made for more funds. Those who can render
assistance are invited to communicate with Francis R. Jones, the Organizing
Secietary, Flatiron Building, New York.
A hitherto unpublished note on Tobacco in
War, written just before Richard Harding
Davis's death.

Chanler, at the pageant for the La Fayette Fund at the
Century Theatre, Few York City, called The Children's
Revolution, Mar. 4, 1915. It is said that when the ehild
ran off the stage after reciting, Davis was so affected by
emotion that he caught the boy in his arms and pressed Mm
convulsively to his breast while the tears ran down Ms
cheeks.
The recitation appeared on the program of the en-
tertainment thus : Address. Written expressly for Ashley
Chanler by Richard Harding Davis.

The La Fayette Fund (1914)
Mr. Davis contributed in November, 1914, a paragraph
for a folder for the La Fayette Fund. The paragraph is
as follows :
"This winter on the Aisne, along a battle line ex-
tending a hundred miles, in trenches of frozen earth,
the men of France and of her Allies, covered with ice
and driven by hail and sleet, are fighting for the ideals
of Democracy. It is not only shells that kill, but there
is the suffering from cold and exposure. [Will you
help to relieve that suffering?*] Wlien in the snows
of Valley Forge your ancestors struggled to create this
Eepublie, the strangers who came to their aid were
La Fayette and the people of France. Let us now
manifest our sympathy by efforts to relieve the suffer-
ing of her soldiers."
[Description: Two-page folder, outside pages blank, inside,
left-hand page, portrait of La Fayette in upper left-hand
corner; at top: "Peace founded on the sanctity of contracts
"between nations. ?? Below, and alongside the portrait, the
paragraph by Davis set forth above. Below, information

NOTES : The first printing above described was quickly
followed by Type IL ? as it is called in the scrapbook of the
La Fayette Fund, which differed in some respects from
Type I. The names of Richard Harding Davis and
G-ouverneur Morris appear as added to the Executive Com-
mittee. Reference to the Christmas delivery is omitted, as
are two lines near the bottom of the first page. Type III.
is similar, but is distinguished from the previous types by
the addition of the names of Messrs. "William Beverly
Rogers and Charles S. Scribner, Jr., to the Executive Com-
mittee. Another form of this letter was issued from Phila-
delphia on a single sheet probably early in January, 1915,
the names of the Executive Committee being those of resi-
dents of Philadelphia.
The La Fayette Fund issued a circular early in its
career, entitled "Have You Subscribed?'' Mr. Er Lawshe
was in their employ and wrote the circular. On the second
page the paragraph beginning, " There is a parallel page
in the world's history that records the cradling of liberty at
Bunker Hill/' etc., Mr. Lawshe tells me he wrote, but the
paragraph, was amended in some respects by Richard
Harding Davis. He does not remember exactly what words
or sentences were changed, but they were not numerous.

under the title The Man Who Had Everything, was pub-
lished in THE LOST Bo AD, edition of 1916 (q.v.). The true
sequel to THE DESERTER, telling what happened to him,
related "by William Grinn Shepherd, one of the war corre-
spondents with Davis at Salonika, appeared in the METRO-
POLITAN, July, 1917, under the title The Scar That Tripled,
then published in binding uniform with THE DESERTER;
with it are printed a number of photographs of scenes men-
tioned in the story. This story was published by Harper
& Brothers in book form Jan. 26, 1918 (price 50 cents).
NOTE: In December, 1917, THE DESERTER, with Mc-
Cutcheon's introduction, was added to Scribner's series of

25. RICHARD HARDING DAVIS
His complete novels and tales in twelve volumes.
Upon the appearance of Mr. Davis in New York m the capacity of an editor
of Harpers Weekly y he was greeted by the Review of Reviews in these apprecia-
tive words: 'Of our younger American journalists and magazine writers., none
has won public favor more rapidly or more completely than Richard Harding
Davis. As a writer of short stories and of descriptive sketches, he Is exceed-
ingly felicitous. He adds a truly literary touch to a marked journalistic in-
stinct, and his^place is already secure among the acceptable writers of the day/*
m Booth Tarkington said of him: "All his writing has the liveliness of spring-
time; it stirs with an unsuppressible gayety, and It has the attraction which
companionship with him had: there is never enough. He could be sharp; he
could write angrily and witJieringly; but even when he was fiercest he was
buoyant^ and when his words were hot they were not scalding, but rather of a
dry, clean indignation with things which he believed could, if they would, be
better. Following him through his books, whether he wrote of home or carried
his kind, stout heart far, far afield, we see an American writing to Americans.
Youth called to youth: All ages read him, but the young men and women have
turned to him ever ^smce his precocious fame made him their idol. They got
many things from Kim, but above all they live with a happier bravery because
of him. He called merrily to them in his manly voice, and they followed him.
They will always follow him."

by Gibson, Clark, Christy, Morgan and others. With introductions by such
famous men as Theodore Roosevelt, Gouverneur Morris, Winston Churchill,

The Disreputable Mr. Reagan (1895)
A one-act play by Richard Harding Davis, based upon
his story, My Disreputable Friend, Mr. Raegen, published
first in SCEIBSTEE'S MAGAZINE, Dec., 1890, and afterwards in
102 RICHARD HARDING DAVIS
the volume entitled G-ALLEGHEB AND OTHEB STORIES, 1891.
The name is spelled Eeagan in the program.
Says Charles Belmont Davis :
"E. BL Sothern and Richard had many schemes for
writing a play together, "but the only aetnal result they
ever attained was a one-act version Sothern did at the
old Lyceum of my brother's story 'The Disreputable
Mr. Raegen. ? It was an extremely tense and absorbing
drama, and Sothern was very fine in the part of
Raegen, but for the forty-five minutes the playlet
lasted Sothern had to hold the stage continuously
alone, and as it preceded a play of the regulation
length, the effort proved too much for the actor's
strength, and after a few performances it was taken
off." (ADVENTUEES AHD LETTERS, p. 60.)
The program of the Broad St. Theatre, Philadelphia,
for the week beginning Monday, Mar. 4, 1895, gives for
Thursday of that week under management of Daniel Proh-
man, E. H. Sothern in Capt Lettarblair, followed by "THE

NOTE : TMs one-act play was written for Nat G-oodwin,
who, however, never played it. It was published, however,
in 1899. (See Separately Published Works.)
The King's Jackal (1899)
I have no information about the dramatization of Ms
novel of this name except this sentence in a letter he wrote
Ms sister from London in March, 1899 :
" Maude is sending Grundy back the Jackal, to have a
second go at it. Maude insists on its being done, so I stand
to win a lot.'* (ADVENTURES ASTO LETTEBS, p. 258.)
The persons mentioned are Cyril Maude, the actor-
manager, and Sidney Grrundy, the playwright.
Charles B. Davis says the MS. was never completed.
Mr. Van Bibber (1900)
Comedy in four acts by Eichard Harding Davis base'd
on the VAN BIBBER and TRAVERS stories. Davis was said to
have been assisted in this dramatization by Clay M. Greene,
Augustus Thomas, and Eobert Hilliard, who was an-
nounced to play the leading part in the fall of 1900, Liebler
& Co., producers.
Henry B. Harris, the theatrical manager, bought the
play (says Charles Belmont Davis), but as Eichard Har-
ding Davis refused to make certain important changes, the
play was not produced. It never got into rehearsal.

" * There is no training for a novelist as thorough
as that received in the local room of a daily news-
paper/ Davis once said. 6 I can work anywhere and
under any conditions, and all on account of that train-
ing as a reporter. I can work in the smoking-room of
an ocean liner among a crowd of men discussing every-
thing from the change of an empire's Prime Minister
to what they would have done if the man on their right
had "stayed out" I remember writing a story of a
big fire in Philadelphia, using a steam radiator as a
table, while the room was filled with dead and dying
victims of the disaster. Every reporter gets the same
training. 5 "

This article is made iip as follows: pp. 118-33 with
very slight changes, is the New York Tribune despatch of
Sept. 22, 1914, entitled VIVID DESCRIPTION OF THE SHELLING
OF EHEIMS CATHEDRAL; the Tribune story has this sentence :
"Being at Eheims, I felt confident I would be served with
the "best champagne in existence, but it was quite the worst.
And so another horror was added to war." Davis evi-
dently felt the flippancy of this, and omitted it in the
reprint. Pages 133-5, 141-8 embody with slight changes,
the Tribune story of Sept. 29, 1914, EHEIMS A WRECK
134 RICHARD HARDING DAVIS
AROUND CATHEDRAL (etc.), omitting a few paragraphs at
the end; pages 135-41 are from EHEIMS CATHEDRAL NOT
USED BY ARMY (etc.), Now York Tribune, Sept 26, 1914; in
the process of editing, either by Davis or others, the follow-
ing are among the sentences omitted; the United States was
"neutral" at the time the book was published:
"The indignation of the world at this latest atrocity
reaehed the Berlin Foreign office this morning. That the
bombardment could continue shows the value the German
army places on the opinion of the civilized world."
"... It was not only carved stone and stained glass
that the Germans wiped out, but the traditions of seven
hundred years. ... By Huns and Vandals it has been
ravaged and desecrated. . . . The French guns that are
answering may save what is left of the cathedral, but mean-
while, public opinion in America, if trained on Germany,
would be equally effective. Judging by cable messages
which I have received, objecting to what I told of what I
saw at Louvain, the German vote at home must be large,
and someone must want it. But there must also be those
who honor the Church that nursed them. If her temples,
her works of art, her historic shrines are not to go the way
of Louvain and Eheims, they should now protest. Is there
not also an Irish vote?"

138 RICHARD HARDING DAVIS
Ei chard Watson Gilder, editor of the Century, dated
Feb. 19 [1891] : "By the way, do not be surprised if
you read a story in Harper's about Col. Carter of Car-
tersville and Ms travels through Bulgaria. There will
be no names mentioned and unless someone feels
aggrieved and fits the cap on his own head there will
be no trouble but I have written nevertheless an excit-
ing story of a war correspondent who lost his ewe lamb
to a genial stranger to whom he confided all he had
learnt of Bulgaria and who has been asked to correct
the proofs of his own story by the genial stranger. "
A careful search of the files of Harper's Monthly
and Weekly has failed to bring this story to light.

had been put into prison, and while lie was there some of
his friends, who were crooked, ran the place for him, and
succeeded in getting it away from him. So when he got
out they had possession of the place and wouldn't give it
up. He came to me and told me about it, and I made up iny
mind that the case was worth working up. I disguised
myself as a Hough/ got acquainted with the men, and for
two weeks lived among them. I used to be with them all
day and until 2 o'clock in the morning. At first they were
a little suspicious of me ; but they got over that and decided
that I was i straight/ or 'dead straight/ as they used to
say. Incidentally, you see, I managed to pick up a good
deal of their slang. I explained my ignorance of their
tricks by telling them that I only went in for big game big
robberies, you know ; so they taught me a lot of their little
tricks, and in some of these I'm pretty expert now."

In an interview, Davis once remarked: "We had
an office boy named Gallegher who did some very re-
markable things. Once I had to put a drunken cabby
into his cab and drive to the office myself. Later, the
desire came to me to write a newspaper story; I saw
that a man driving at night under those circumstances
through the falling sleet was interesting ; but make it
a little boy who did it and it became dramatic. " (Bos-

German officers who witnessed the so-called ' confes-

Gordon when he no longer is in a German fortress, bnt
free to protect himself; if he admits he wrote the letter
I will send the German Ambassador the $100. Mean-

I went out beyond* tKe Cuban picket lines very 'early this morning

1 saw no signs of any fortifications am! only a fe\v soldiers sitting
where the trail entered the city,
From a tree with a strong field glass I could count thirteen Red
Cross iags flying of what looked more ike barracks than hospitals and
over the churches. These Hags are so arranged that the entire part of
the dtj fronting, the plain beyomt which the army is encamped in, ac-
cording to mica of international warfare, incompletely saved from at-
tack.
It seems a bold tiling to suggest* but It may be possible that the
Spaniards'^ Cfuktfy abandoning che city an4 that the- Hags are there
to the inevitable attack. Officers who have just returned from
other scouting parties entirely disagree with tills suggestion, awl declare
they saw men working on trenches and ramparts,

most difficult story I ever wrote was the return of
Hobson to the American lines after his captivity in
Santiago. I rode into Gen. Shafter's headquarters
just behind Hobson, and with me was the late Stephen
Crane. My dispatch-boat was at Sibony when we ar-
rived at that place, but Crane's boat, the ' Three
Friends/ was not there* I started to write my story,
when Crane, laughing, declared Ms intention to pre-
vent my getting it through because he could not send

Ms own story. He did all lie could to break me up, but
I worked on. Finally lie began to tell a story of the
Greek war. Now, there was no one who could tell a
story like Stephen Crane, and time after time I would
find myself stopping to listen to the narrative. Crane
apparently was telling the story to others in the room,
but in reality he was talking to me, and never was I
so distracted in my work. I really think that if any
one could write while Stephen Crane was telling a
story, he could write anywhere/'

SCKAPBOOKS. E. H. D. left two scrapbooks, both now in the
possession of Mrs. Davis. One was a cloth scrapbook,
containing many personal mementos, and a very large
amount, if not all, of the material contributed to the
Philadelphia papers ; these clippings are rarely dated,
but have all been included in this work.
The earlier scrapbook, with marbled pasteboard
covers, contains the memorabilia of his college days
at Lehigh photographs, clippings from the Bethlehem
Times and the LehigJi Burr, newspaper items about his
tennis matches, MS. and printed material regarding
the Arcadia and other organizations Davis was inter-
ested in, and the like ; and clippings and pictures de-
scribing his trip through the South with Col. A. K.
McClure in January, 1885.
None of the newspaper items or the articles from
the Bethlehem Times are signed, but Charles Belmont
Davis has indicated these two which he believes his
brother wrote. The dates are not given on the clip-
pings, but they were probably published during the
months mentioned.

This story constitutes pp. 118-33 of THE BOMBARD-

last time I was arrested was at Eomigny, by General
Asebert. I had on me a three-thousand word story,
written that morning in Eheims, telling of the wanton
destruction of the cathedral. I asked the General
Staff, for their own good, to let the story go through.
It stated only facts which I believed, were they known
to civilized people, would cause them to protest against
a repetition of such outrages. To get the story on the
wire I made to Lieutenant Lucien Frechet and Major
Klotz of the General Staff, a sporting offer. For every
word of my despatch they censored, I offered to give
them for the Eed Cross of France five francs. , .
Their answer was to put [me] in the Cherche-Midi
prison. The next day the censor read my story and
said to Lieutenant Frechet and Major Klotz: 'But I
insist this goes at once. It should have been sent
twenty-four hours ago.' " (With the Allies, 1914, pp.
231-3.)

"I do not think I ever wrote a whole story at a sitting
except one. Do you remember A WALK UP THE
AVENUE? I wrote that on the back piazza of a hotel
in Syracuse, whither I had gone to see a man hung.
That fact got me out of a scrape, too, for a friend
accused me of having used in the story an incident in
his own life, and was deeply hurt. Fortunately I could
prove by the hotel paper on which it was written, that
I wrote the story before the incident happened/'

paragraph: "When they broke the door of her room
off its hinges Saturday night, she was lying in the
226 RICHARD HARDING DAVIS
middle of the floor on her "back. She had on a Mack lace
gown, open at the throat, and showing through the lace
sleeves the form and beauty of her arms. She had
torn the lace gown in her convulsions, and her eyes
were staring and bloodshot and her month open and
covered with froth. It would have been a most un-
pleasant thing for Mr. Bradley to have seen."
R. BL D. wrote his brother Charles soon after the
publication of this news article as follows: "Dear
Chas : Brisbane has suggested to me that the Bradley
story would lead anyone to suppose that my evenings
were spent in the boudoirs of the horizontals of 34th
Street, and has scared me somewhat in consequence.
. . . It is hardly a fair thing to suppose that a man
must have an intimate acquaintance with whatever he
writes of intimately. ... As a matter of fact, they
would not let me in the room, and I don't know whether
it abounded in signed etchings or Bougereau's
nymphs." (Adventures and Letters, pp. 48-9.)

The foregoing are, so far as has been ascertained, the
only pictures which have been actually screened under their
names up to November, 1921. Several, however, were sold
by the Davis estate for motion-picture purposes prior to
February 6, 1920, on which date Fox Film Corporation
bought the rights to the remaining stories, sixty-seven in
number, leaving only a play or two undisposed of. A list
of the rights so purchased was published in Moving Picture
World, Feb. 21, 1920. William Fox, president of the pur-
chasing corporation, announced in April, 1920, that he had
arranged to star Mrs. Richard Harding Davis (Bessie
McCoy) in a series of feature productions based on the
Davis stories, production to begin at once. (Exhibitor's
Trade Review, Apr. 10, 1920) ; but none had been produced
up to Jan. 1, 1923, except The Men of Zanzibar; Mrs. Davis
was not employed.
Film rights to The Naked Man were sold to William A.
Brady in 1913, but no picture has been produced ; it is now
owned by the World Film Corporation. Who's Who was
sold for film purposes June 25, 1914, to the Vitagraph Com-
pany of America, but no picture has yet been made.
The Bed Cross Girl was sold to Fred W. Delavin, but
no picture of it has yet been made.
234 RICHARD HARDING DAVIS
In 1917 The Bar Sinister motion-picture rights were
sold to Edgar Lewis, who has not produced it, "but I have
been unable to confirm this. The Bar Sinister, produced
in May, 1917, In eight reels by Frank Hall Productions, Inc.,
The Man Who Had Everything, released in 1920 by Gold-
wyn Pictures Corporation with Jack Pickford and The
Trap, Universal-Jewel production with Lon Chaney, April,
1922, were neither of them based on stories by Davis.
I ani greatly indebted for information regarding the
Davis films to Mrs. Cora C. Wllkening of New York City,
one of the best known American play brokers, who was Mr.
Davis 's agent.
PICTUEE PBODUCTIONS
1. Banson's Folly. The scenario was prepared by
R. H. D. and varies somewhat from the novel; the Post
Trader shoots himself at the finale. The Edison Manufac-
turing Co. produced the picture (No. 6595), which consisted
of only a thousand feet of film not more than one-fifth of
the ordinary picture of similar general class today. The
picture was released Mar. 1, 1910, the first of Davis ? s stories
to be filmed. It was reviewed with a synopsis in Moving
Picture World, Vol. VI, p. 349, Mar. 5, 1910.
2. Her First Appearance. This, the second film based
on a Davis plot, was also made by Edison Manufacturing
Co., and was released Apr. 15, 1910; it consisted of " ap-
proximately nine hundred and ninety feet" of film, says the
producer's advertisement, which also says it was "adapted
by Eichard Harding Davis from his famous story of the
same title. The infatuation of a society man for an actress,
their marriage, her deception, their estrangement, her
death, and the subsequent reunion of father and child
graphically and convincingly presented, magnificently
staged and costumed, and interpreted by a special cast, with
Mr. Eobert Connes in the role of Van Bibber. "
It takes only twelve minutes to run off a thousand feet
of film, and thus to concentrate this elaborate narrative
"convincingly" must have been a remarkable feat.

The hero of The Celebrity, a novel by Winston Churchill
(Macmillan, 1898), was said to have been drawn from
Eichard Harding Davis, but the character of the hero and
the plot show the absurdity of any such rumor. When
asked by an interviewer if "The Celebrity " was Eichard
Harding Davis, Winston Churchill replied: "No, indeed.
At the time I was living a very retired life. I had never met
Mr. Davis and knew nothing about him. So that I was
thunderstruck when the reviewers all came out and charged
me with caricaturing him." William Wallace Whitelock in
Authors of Our Day in Their Homes (New York, 1902),
p. 49.
The Literary Guillotine (anonymous) (published for
254 RICHARD HARDING DAVIS
the author by John Lane, Oct., 1903) contains a rather
savage and entirely unjustifiable burlesque trial of Richard
Harding Davis for lese-majeste to the cause of letters.
"Held, that in writing exclusively for the Young Person,
the introduction of improprieties, however veiled, and the
perpetration of impossibilities in order to avoid the same
are equally criminal, and constitute the same offense 5 '
(pp. 1-32).
An enlightening, as well as favorable and friendly ap-
preciation of Davis ? s character was written by his intimate
friend Gouverneur Morris and first appeared in the Metro-
politan for April, 1916; then in the little book entitled
R. H. D. (Scribner, 1917).

THE HAT AND ITS INMATE
(Judge, New York, Feb. 1, 1882)
We went to hear "Othello" last night and see Eossi.
What we did see was a hat, and what we heard were the
following criticisms, addressed particularly to the suffering
male escort, but audible to the delighted audience in the
near vicinity :
SHE I thought it was Clara Morris we were to see.
She's so good ; makes you cry all the time ; just lovely. I've
seen McCullough in the play of Polionus, or lago, or some-
thing.
HE (suggestively) Othello ?
SHE Yes, that's it; the colored one. I thought from
that it was going to be something like the minstrels, but it
wasn't. That one in the blue suit's elegant, isn't he? He
takes his part well; smiles so nice.
HE (doubtfully) Yes, the lago is good.
SHE Oh, do you like him? I think he's horrid, deceiv-
ing poor Othello that way.
HE Oh, I referred to his conception. He realizes
the
SHE Yes. I wonder if that's Desdemona's own hair.
I don't see how any one could fall in love with her. She's
a perfect fright; and that dress is not real velvet; don't
believe it cost more than twenty-five cents a yard. I knew
an actor once ; met him at Mt. Desert. He said he thought
he could play Armand well, better than Charley Thome;
and he told me, confidentially, he didn't think much of
Wallack. He played the Cabman in "Our Boarding
A BIBLIOGRAPHY 289
House" then, not Wallack, the other one (refreshing
pause). What are they pulling down the lights for? Are
they going to shoot any pistols? If they do 111 scream
(breathless pause). Well, I am glad it's over. That's the
way it ended the last time I saw it. I think they ought to
change that. I like it best when they all get married off,
and stand in a row and bow. But he's married already,
isn't he? Have yon got the glasses? It was not a bit
funny, real sorrowful, like * ' Uncle Tom ? s Cabin. ' ? I wonder
if they won't change that. I, lost in the crowd, still won-
dering.

THE ALABM: CLOCK STORY
(New York Evening Sun, 1889-90)
. . . Last Thursday a very rough and ready young man
came to Mrs. Herten's boarding-house and asked for a
room. He explained his appearance at that hour by saying
that he was a bartender and had to keep very unusual
hours, and that sometimes he slept at night and sometimes
through the day.
"He was very rough with me," Mrs. Herten said. "I
did not like him. But he say, 'Why not?' I must work and
I must sleep.' "
So the old German woman gave him her top room for
$1 a week, and he came and went at any hour that pleased
him best, and no one asked him any questions, not even his
name. Last night he told Mrs. Herten that he wanted the
larger room on the top floor, the one which rented for $1.50.
He paid the money and went upstairs. That was at seven
o 'clock. Whether he went out again immediately or not, no
one knows, for he has not been seen since.
Mrs. Herten heard some one come in at about two in
the morning and go heavily upstairs. Whether this was
Callaghan or the barkeeper without a name, she does not
know.
290 RICHARD HARDING DAVIS
Her son, Charlie Herten, a young man, sleeps on the
second floor. Mr. and Mrs. William Wardell occupy a room
on the same floor. Mrs. Wardell "lives out" as a cook.
Her husband spends a great deal of time in looking for
work. About six in the morning Charlie Herten awoke with
the confused idea that some one was "breaking into the
room. As he became awake he recognized the noise as the
crackling of timber and felt the heat of a hot fire. He
jumped out of bed, picked up a pitcher of water, and ran
into the hall. The upper floor was lighted up and blazing
with flames, and the smoke was creeping down the narrow
stairs like a stream of hot steam. He ran through to the
upper floor to arouse the barkeeper, but the door of that
man's room was ajar and the flames were pouring out of it.
He could not pass them to get to Callaghan's room, and so
ran down stairs again. The Wardells were already in the
street. Then Herten burst into his mother's room and
found it filled with smoke, which was pouring out of the
chimney place as thickly as though the opening were the
upper instead of the lower one.
His mother was partly unconscious and choking. He
caught her around the waist and lifted and dragged her
out into the street. As he left the house the firemen passed
him with the hose in their hands. He yelled to them that
there was a man on the top floor asleep, but he does not
think they heard him.
His warning was useless in any event, for when they
broke into Callaghan's room they found him dead in bed,
with his head on his arm and apparently asleep quietly.
The fire had not had time to reach his room, but the smoke
had crept in over the top of the dividing wall and smothered
him while he slept.
The clock at his bedside was ticking regularly, and as
the last of the firemen were sweeping the water down the
stairs and stamping out the last damp and smouldering
embers, the alarm went off with a sudden fierce rattle, that
made them start. But it was just a half an hour late.

MEN" WHO MAKE LIFE
(Art in Advertwlnq (New York), New Series, Vol.,
No, 2, pp. 29-30, Apr., 1891)
I do not know why I should have been asked to w*
kindly biographical sketch of Charles Dana Gibson, \
it is that the papers lately have been paragraphing
"warm, personal friends. 37 As a matter of fact, I d

So we became friends* Since then he has endeared 1
to me by drawing pictures of me in prominent perk
as a Cherry Street tough, a club rounder, a gamble*
English adventurer who was no end of a cad, and a "torn
for a racing stable. This made me like Mm more than ever.
When I object to being held up to public ridicule in this
way, lie says it is not me he draws, but a tough model he
picked up on the Bowery. And yet that never ^ struck me
as an altogether satisfying explanation. Dana is less like
an artist than any other artist I know. All the other artists
of my acquaintance wear Vandyck beards, and are hollow
chested and round shouldered from stopping over easels, I
suppose, and never say anything against another artist.
They always shut their lips very tight and as if to say,
"Gold and precious stones would not get me to say how
little I think of that man's work. I am a brother artist, and
I am above jealousy, and I make it a rule never to say
unkind things." This is what you gather from the way
they close their lips. But Dana never keeps silent. He
always finds something nice to say about all of them. And
then he has a smooth, strong face, instead of a Vandyck
bearded one, and the shoulders of an end rusher and the
chest of a pugilist, and when he shakes hands with you, you
wish you had put your ring on the left hand. People who
do like him, for I don't myself, say he is as modest and
gentle as he is strong and as kindly natured and simple and
sincere as one of the glorious women he draws for Life.

(The following letters were written by Davis while at Johns
Hopkins University, and the late Judd Stewart, who

here.)
EDITOES ST. NICHOLAS,
DEAB SIES :
I received the manuscript of "Richard Carr's Baby 57 and
your note of criticism a few days ago. Tour criticism of
Carr's "breakdown" on page 9 struck me as a very just
one and I have softened his grief considerably, but I think
if it was lessened any further the point I try to make would
be lost. As to your objection to Carr's being too ideal a
hero, "a paragon " in fact, though I have made some
changes in recognition of the suggestion, I still think you
are mistaking the admiration and hero-worship of the small
boys for my own opinion of him. It may, however, be my
fault in not having made this plain. I know there is a
popular prejudice to the effect that football players require
less of the milk of human kindness than other people, that,
indeed, the less they have of it the better players they are,

but I differ froin the majority in this belief. I have known
some few captains who were humane and even if the charac-
ter is too ideal it would be a laudable act to set an exalted
example of muscular Christianity for next year's teams to
aspire to.
That such men are worshipped to the extent 1 make
Carr out to be is undoubtedly so. Only a few weeks ago
since I sent you this story a young friend of mine at
Princeton told me with just pride and an evident attempt
to excite my envy that he had ridden on a bicycle which

obliged for your suggestions and hope the revised copy will
be acceptable. If there is still any line you object to, if you

omit it or compromise on a new one. Hoping to hear from
you soon, I remain, Sirs,

EDITOR ST. NICHOLAS,
DEAB SIB:
Enclosed you will find the receipt for the check men-
tioned, for which please accept my thanks.
If I may make a suggestion concerning the time the
story should appear, I would say October would be pref-
erable to November as the story has a strong Princeton
basis and by November, after the Thanksgiving Day Game,
I fear that Yale stock will be much more highly valued. It
would be rather flat to chronicle a Princeton victory after a
well advertised Princeton defeat; this, however, is merely
my partisan point of view.
Yours sincerely,

(From tlie Boston Evening Transcript, Feb. 9, 1921)
Richard Harding Davis, Soldier of Fortune, Explorer
Extraordinary of human interest, war correspondent, ad-
venturer, friend, lighter and artist, loved all over the Seven
Seas, was for a number of years a member of the Circum-
navigators Club. Shortly before he died, Circumrichard-
hardingdavis published a story in Collier's, from which the
club took its countersign or call. This is the famous
passage :
"As the ship was getting under way, a young man in
white and a sun helmet, an agent of the lighterage company,
went down the sea ladder by which I was leaning. He was
smart, alert ; his sleeves, rolled recklessly to his shoulders,
showed sinewy, sunburnt arms ; Ms helmet, I noted, was a
military one. Perhaps I looked as I felt ; that it was a pity
to see so good a man go to such a land, for he looked up at
me from the swinging ladder and smiled understandingly
as though we had been old acquaintances.
66 'You going far?' he asked. He spoke in the soft, de-
tached voice of the public-school Englishman.
" 'To the Congo/ I answered.
"He stood swaying with the ship, looking as though
there were something he wished to say, and then laughed
and added gravely, giving me the greeting of the coast,
'Luck to you.'
" 'Luck to you/ I said.
"That is the worst of these gaddings about, these meet-
ings with men you wish you could know, who pass like a
face in the crowded street, who hold out a hand or give
the password of the brotherhood, and then drop down the
sea ladder and out of your life forever. "
